Shared chief executives and joint management: a model for the future?
With the increasing pressures on local government finances, many councils are looking at developing closer partnerships and collaborative ways of working. A growing number of councils have chosen to deepen their partnership working by sharing their chief executive and management teams.
The October 2008 publication ‘Shared Chief Executives: The lessons’ from IDeA (now LG Improvement and Development) considered some of the early developments in sharing chief executives, highlighting the reasons for the joint arrangements.
In this new report, a year on, Stephen Fletcher and Eamon Lally explore the impact of sharing chief executives on councils’ integration, particularly in terms of efficiency savings and the shared services agenda.
